EASY MUSHROOM SAUCE

1 medium onion, peeled and sliced

1 tspn chicken stock powder or 1/2 Knorr chicken cube

200ml thickened cream

good pinch of coarse ground pepper

*used AUS. Measuring Cups & Spoons

COOKING PROCEDURE:

~ Heat your deep frying pan in high and drop in your butter, lower the heat into high-medium and once the butter is melted, stir in your sliced onion. Wait till your onion slices turns translucent and then add in your chicken cube/powder and let it melt with the butter. Add in your sliced mushrooms.

~ Sprinkle your coarse ground pepper and stir your sliced mushrooms while cooking. Most of the sliced mushrooms should have that dark golden brown bits edges before you add your thickened cream. Don’t overcook your mushrooms, it should still have that fleshly texture and not too limp. Pour in your thickened cream and let it boil and bring down to simmer. Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.

~ Quickly remove the Mushroom Sauce from the pan and place in a large serving bowl. This sauce is at its best, freshly cooked.
